The heading of that list reads "List of sites associated with 'contract cheating'". What does "associated" mean? If we interpret it to mean "actively support contract cheating", then that list is incorrect, since the homework guidelines strongly discourage members from doing other people's homework.Originally Posted by jim mcnamara
If we interpret it to mean "support contract cheating", then including cboard on that list is reasonable: a student can use PMs to form a contract with some member to complete the student's homework, and PMs are not monitored. (Or so we would like you to believe )
If you are talking about cheating in general, then that is fine. It certainly is the case that students attempt to use cboard to cheat, and they may succeed. It is to our advantage for such students to get punished for cheating as we can then help those who really take the effort to learn.Originally Posted by jim mcnamara
What rule change do you suggest? We already have a homework policy.Originally Posted by jim mcnamara
